Description

We love our home, and we're excited to share it with you. We believe that little Portugal is one of the best neighbourhoods to enjoy the best Toronto has to offer. Our home was built in the 1880s, and is surrounded by other beautiful homes of its time. This is a great stay for those who like to get a neighbourhood feel when they travel, without missing out on the perks of being right downtown. Make sure to check out house guide to see all the best the neighbourhood has to offer. Our home is a private, detached Victorian house spread across three floors. The main floor includes the parlour (living room), formal dining room, eat-in kitchen and access to the private backyard. The parlour has a large smart TV with subscriptions to Prime and Netflix, a stereo-system with stereo plug in and record table, and a Nintendo Switch. The parlour also has a gas fireplace which is perfect for chilly evenings. We love to cook. So, the kitchen is fully stocked with cooking and baking supplies, the basics and the some frills too. Our coffee maker of choice is a stove-top espresso and you'll have access to coffee and tea. Our kitchen conveniently backs onto our private backyard which has a dining table, loungers, and a gas BBQ. The second floor has the second bedroom with queen bed, and large adjacent bathroom with a separate tub and shower. The front room on the second floor is the home office with two desks. The office also has a small front balcony and it's a small joy to watch the world go by there while enjoying a cup of coffee (or glass of wine). And the third floor is a private bedroom suite with a king sized bed, television, en-suite bathroom, sitting area and small desk. The third floor also has a small terrace. The basement is unfinished and has a small and rustic gym. It's nothing fancy and the ceiling is low but it includes a Peloton bike, a seriously strong fan, weights, and a gym mat large enough to accommodate two yogis simultaneously. The basements also has access to the washer and dryer.
